Custom Fountain Pen With Titanium Nib

Recommended Posts

Being someone who likes to make pens, I always have one of my own creations in my pocket. I lose these creations about every other month for one reason or another and have to make myself a new pen. The pen you see here was my experiment. I had heard a lot about the unique feel of a Titanium nib and decided to create such a pen for myself. I got it made, inked it up, and HOLY COW... too flexy for my taste. I press too hard when I write the way it is. This thing made me feel like I was using a magic marker. So its time to find it a new home. If you like good line variation and a smooth nib, this should be great for you. It just wasn't to my own taste. The pen is around 5 1/2" long and has a Cap that does post. The section measures about 13mm and the pen weighs in at around 24 grams. The nib is a F Bock titanium and comes with a K6 screw in converter. Because I did intend to make it for myself I bored out the inside fairly deep for eyedropper use. It will hold around 5.5 ml of ink. I would love to hear everyone's opinion. The pen is for sale here. www.jandjwooddesigns.net

Thanks for sharing your new work with us; I took a good look on your site & discovered there was ANOTHER pen, "calling my name!" I have received your automated message saying "it is being prepared for shipment.

 

Your pen with the Titanium nib will undoubtably find a new home, with someone anxious to try that nib.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
